Dermaplaning

Which facial oil do you use please? Can it also be bought from boots?

I used a superdrug vitamin E facial oil, was only 4 pounds or so and worked really well x

Is once a month too much or is that alright? My hairs are growing back already, last did it around the 10th October

I've done it every 2 weeks since I started x

When’s the best time to do it? Just before I have a shower? Do you get breakouts like you do sometimes when you shave your face with a razor? And how many times should I be using the blade before binning it?
So many questions haha

I do it anytime but usually in the evening after I have cleansed my face. I've never broken out after doing it. I used a new blade every time because they are cheapie ones from Superdrug but if I had a scalpel type one I'd cleanse it before and after each use in surgical spirit.

I haven't done it yet, I'm weirdly nervous!!!

I have a fear I'll end up with a shaving rash and I'm panicking now about my upper lip, because the hair there isn't peach fuzz, it is alot more 'hair' like

 

[Lizzie Mintdrop]

I'm terrified I'll do it wrong or something!! Do you literally do your whole face?

I do my sideboards and chin. The first time I did it I did the whole lot apart from my nose, which you aren't supposed to do but I have virtually no peach fuzz on my forehead so it seemed pointless. You could try with a safety razor but you don't get the exfoliation from that, it just removes the peach fuzz. It isn't difficult, but take your time doing it and you'll get the hang of it

Oooh okay thanks!

It is looking a little less red this morning, do you think I’ll be okay to wear makeup tomorrow to work?

Yeah I reckon so!! Maybe it was the oil? You could try a different one next time?

I've done it
My husband is away with work till tomorrow and I wanted to do it whilst he wasn't here incase he got the ick seeing me shave my face so I bit the bullet and did it.

I am soooo impressed with how it looks! My skin feels so smooth and I can already tell its going to make me feel so much more confident. I've always been aware of hair on my face, especially in the sunlight if I'm talking to someone.

I used the advice above and used some facial oil which definitely made it glide easier. Took me a while to get the knack of which angle and way to pull the tool down. I was shocked how grubby the oil was coming off with the hair!! I only did my side of cheeks and chin and upper lip. Found the chin and upper lip the trickiest just for angles.

I used the torch on my phone every few minutes to shine on my face and see if I had missed any patches. I'd say I spent 20 minutes or so doing it but I imagine it won't take me that long next time. Not sure how fast it will grow back but I don't mind doing it every week or 2 of I have to.

Can't believe I was going to pay £45 for someone else to do it! Super excited to see how my make up applies tomorrow.

Let's hope I don't wake up with a shaving rash!

Thanks for all your advice x

Glad you took the plunge, it's really addictive.

I've never used an oil when dermaplaning as I always wanted the exfoliation to be ramped up. Did it still exfoliate?

 

[Lizzie Mintdrop]

I do my own. I use eyebrow razors, you need to go lightly as you don't want to scrape your skin. It's fairly easy, I've never cut myself and it leaves my skin so smooth as it lightly exfoliates as well as removes the hair. The eyebrow razors are £3 from Superdrug

I buy these and do it at home. Use a facial oil as it helps make the razor glide and don’t go over the same area a lot of times. I’ve never cut myself and I can really notice the difference in skincare and make-up application! I do it religiously every 3 weeks now

[37BBL]

I'm going to pop into Asda when my daughter is at club later and get some of the little razors you guys have recommended and give it a go tonight!!

 

[ChampagneBox]

Just noticed I’ve caught some hairs at the front of my head so I have stubble now

 

[ChampagneBox]

I've only done it once so not sure I'm qualified to comment, but mine didn't sting after and I don't think I was red. Might be for other people though. I bet in the morning its settled down for you.
Hurrah for doing it though! I still love how my skin is. I have a bit of regrowth I can feel now so I'll probably do it again at some point this week.

Has anyone had this professionally done?
I'm really tempted. I've got a lot of fine hair on the sides of my face and a bit thicker on my chin. My make up sometimes doesn't sit right there and I also have some scaring which it is said to improve.
Any stories or tips? I would do it myself but I'm scared I would balls it up! Where I live it seems to be about £45 for a session.
Thanks ladies!
